Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Knife
- 1 Røreskal
- 4 Metal skewer
Ingredients
Marinade
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice Freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 clove garlic Crushed
- 2 tbsp fresh dill Finely chopped
1 tsp salt- 0.5 tsp black pepper Freshly ground
Salmon
- 600 g salmon fillet Skinless, cut into cubes
- 1 pcs lemon In wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut 600 g salmon fillet into even cubes of about 3 cm. Remove the skin and any bones before cubing.
- Mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 clove garlic and 2 tbsp fresh dill together in a bowl. Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
- Toss the salmon cubes thoroughly in the marinade so all the pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and let the salmon marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Thread the salmon cubes onto metal skewers with 4-5 pieces per skewer. Leave a little space between each piece so the heat can circulate.
Cooking in the air fryer
- Preheat the air fryer to 190 °C.
- Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Cook for 8 minutes, turning the skewers carefully after 4 minutes so they turn evenly golden on all sides.
- The salmon cubes are done when they flake easily with a fork and have a golden surface. Let the skewers rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serving
- Arrange the salmon skewers on a platter and serve with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over. Sprinkle with a little extra fresh dill if you like.
Notes
Tips for a perfect result:
Use fresh, good-quality salmon if you can and avoid overcooking - the salmon should stay juicy inside. Cut the cubes to an even size so they cook at the same time. Variations:
Try adding seasonal vegetables between the salmon cubes on the skewers - peppers, courgette or red onion work well. You can also swap the dill for parsley or coriander. Serving:
Serve with boiled potatoes, a fresh salad or a cold yoghurt dressing with cucumber and dill. Pasta or rice also works well as a side. Portion size:
If your air fryer is smaller, you can cook the dish in two batches.
